New hope for leukemia patients: drug targets hidden cancer cells after transplant
NCT ID NCT05940961
First seen Nov 21, 2025 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 25 times
Summary
This phase 2 trial tests the drug inotuzumab ozogamicin in 42 adults with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia who have minimal residual disease (MRD) after a stem cell transplant. MRD means a few cancer cells remain undetectable by standard tests but can cause relapse. The drug aims to turn MRD negative, which is linked to better long-term survival. Participants receive up to two 21-day cycles of the drug, and the study measures how well it clears MRD and improves survival.
